Perseid Shower Party

Enjoy these planned Saturday activities at Beech Fork State Park.

3:00 p.m. Fishing with the Naturalist! Meet the Naturalist at the boat launch area before the fishing contest to practice before the contest starts. You can also ask questions and advice if you’d like, and the Naturalist will show you one of the easiest and best fishing knots you can tie! YPP

4:00 p.m. Fishing Contest: Kids 14 and under can bring their fishing poles to the dock behind the boat rentals to try and win ice cream! YPP

6:30 p.m. Tie Dye! Pick up a t-shirt at the camp store (or bring your own) and meet the Naturalist behind the headquarters building to tie dye your shirt. You can also bring bandanas, shoes, towels, hats, etc.! Beech Fork shirts are in the store for $8 plus tax. If you bring your own items, the activity costs $3 to cover the cost of materials.

9:00 p.m. Perseid Meteor Shower Star Party! Join us in the front parking lot at the headquarters building to look at stars, and watch the Persied meteor shower. There will be telescopes to look at planets and other celestial bodies as well. YPP
